  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

    Scout Field Service Manuals - Technical Manuals Would Be Fantastic For Owners

    Handy when you need the manual because the car isn’t working. Hard to read the on screen manual if the screen doesn’t work,

    When the regen associated with one pedal driving is too strong, it becomes much harder to smoothly feather the pedal just right so you don’t have that on/off effect, making it much more likely that your passengers will get sick. Easing way up on the regen settings and having drivers use the...

    Taking bets on the new color of the Traveler Concept to be seen soon...

    I’m guessing infra-red. Invisible to the human eye but you’ll feel the heat as it races by.

    Waiting for Scout, I leased an Ioniq 5. Here are things I'd like to Improve and as they relate to Scout Terra or Traveler

    Yes, but looking at some of the other items, (eg 9, 12, 14, 21) I don’t think the wording strictly follows that pattern, esp given that the ioniq 5 has no spare, dashcam, &c.
